Greening the supply chain

Greening the supply chain refers to the process of making the entire supply chain— from sourcing raw materials to delivering products— more environmentally friendly. This involves choosing sustainable resources, reducing waste, lowering energy consumption, and minimizing carbon emissions throughout production and transportation. Companies focus on practices that are better for the planet, such as using recyclable materials, optimizing logistics to reduce fuel use, and encouraging suppliers to adopt eco-friendly methods. The goal is to create a more sustainable business model that benefits both the environment and society, while also often improving efficiency and reducing costs in the long run.
